"The compilation of Dao Zang is to seek the source of the original, so that the great works of the sages will not be lost, which is indeed a good thing for our Taoists.

However..." Lin Lingsu changed his voice, and said: "The great construction of Taoist temples is a waste of money for the people. The Holy One doesn't like it, and the people also have resentment. It has been abolished.

As for the conversion of the monastery to Taoism, how much has been changed, the master also has a certain number in mind, so why bother to say more? "

The so-called policies above have countermeasures, Zhao Ji's edict actually has little effect.

The local monasteries are rich and related, and it is not difficult to clear the local government. Even if there are such honest officials, they will not care about Zhao Ji's random life, so most of them are safe and sound.

The small monastery must be located in a remote place, and there is not much oil and water, and the local government will not keep an eye on it.

So, except for some who are not up or down, not many really make changes.

Zhiqing naturally knew this.

Just like Daxiangguo Temple, hasn't it always been safe and sound.

"I think back then, when the Han Dynasty was first established, the country was ruled by Huang Lao, and the country was prosperous and the people were safe. Now, most of my Taoist alchemists can only pretend to be gods and ghosts to fool the world to gain benefits. It is really sad and lamentable.

Fortunately, the Holy Majesty made a point to make my Taoists revise the teachings, reorganize the teachings in the world, re-establish the great teachings, and serve the country. "

After hearing Lin Lingsu's words, Zhiqing was dumbfounded.

Feng Lin Lingsu is justified as a national teacher, but Taoism should be established as a national religion?

I'm afraid it's not that the emperor has lost his mind.

"To revise the teachings, brainstorming is necessary, and it will take a long time. As for the reorganization of the teachings, it is urgent." Lin Lingsu said.

"So, the national teacher came to my Daxiangguo Temple?" Zhiqing asked.

Lin Lingsu sneered, stepped forward to grab Zhiqing's cassock, and sighed: "This monk's cassock has a lot of gold thread and silver thread. I don't know how much it cost?"

Zhiqing couldn't answer.

Looking around, Lin Lingsu continued: "Eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, it's fine if you don't have to give birth, why are you all wearing gold and silver?

The imperial court has nothing to do with foolish men and women complaining about giving you sesame oil money. However, with so many shops in you, the annual income can offset the tax of a county, and the income of the [-]-surname trading conference can be compared to that of a state!

What a luxury! "

"This is offered by pilgrims, how can it be an excuse?" Zhiqing argued.

Lin Ling asked Su, "A lot of money, isn't it the original sin?"

People's words are so clear, Zhiqing has nothing to explain.

Daxiangguo Temple had too much income and savings, which attracted the emperor's covetousness, so it became a top bird.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is merciful. Your Buddhist inheritance will not be extinct. You are just a smuggler who must immediately return to vulgarity. A person with advanced cultivation can only study law and not live in a big temple!"

Lin Lingsu waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, investigate learning immediately, and anyone who can't memorize ten scriptures by heart will be ordered to return to vulgarity immediately!"

"National teacher, these requirements are too high, why not leave room for them?" Zhiqing asked urgently.

Ten scriptures must be memorized by heart. How many of the more than a thousand monks in Daxiangguo Temple can memorize them?

About, maybe, thirty or twenty?

As for the others, it is good to be able to memorize one or two volumes of Buddhism.

It's not that the monks don't work hard, it's because the affairs of the temple are complicated, and it's hard to meditate when people are greeted and sent every day.

Lin Lingsu didn't care, just sneered and said: "You recite the scriptures every day, but you can't memorize them by heart, so why should you become a monk?

Come, inspect immediately! "

Immediately, the officials of the Kaifeng government came in, took the monks away, and inspected them separately.

The monks were naturally unwilling, but they dared not, and resisted with force.

Otherwise, the water and fire sticks of the yamen servants will let the monks know what pain is.

Of course, Zhiqing, who is the leader, is naturally exempted from the exam.

In this regard, Zhiqing has no feeling of happiness, only feels extremely sad.

"Great monk, you don't need to get angry, get rid of the people who are just pretending to be numbers, and the rest are those who are dedicated to the Buddha. Only then can you continue to inherit Buddhism." Lin Lingsu said.

"It's not just your Buddhism, but my Taoism is also the same in the future, and I also have to memorize the classics, otherwise I won't be able to register.

If there is no record and you act as a sect, you will be punished as fraud, and you should be punished by the government. "

"National teacher, why is this so, why is this so!" Zhiqing couldn't help but lament.

This hurts both sides, no, Taoism only hurts the skin, and Buddhism hurts the bones.

So far, except for holy places like Longhu Mountain, Taoism actually has not many followers and even fewer believers.

If you look at it in comparison, [-]% of the world is Buddhist, and less than [-]% is Taoist, because there are other sects.

So strict requirements, of course, are more harmful to Buddhism.

"Get rid of the rubbish and keep the essence, so that we can continue the past and open up the future." Lin Lingsu said indifferently: "From now on, Buddhism is not allowed to operate industries, and temples are not allowed to be located in prosperous places.

If you need anything, you should walk for alms. If you don't want to, you can either return to the secular life or starve to death! "

Zhiqing was resentful, but unable to resist, she was really aggrieved.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Lingsu smiled and said, "You are far worse than Zhizhen."

"Cultivation base is not as good as senior brother." Zhi Qing said.

"My national teacher is not talking about cultivation." Lin Lingsu said: "Back then, Zhizhen gave you a wrathful Vajra, but you were kicked out, how stupid!

Even the monk Fang Shan of Hanshan Temple also knew that he sent Deng Yuanjue to prepare for any eventuality, but you are self-proclaimed as an eminent monk and have no worries. "

Zhiqing was speechless again.

Lin Lingsu was talking about Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue.

Back then, when Zhizhen took care of Lu Zhishen, apart from the so-called Huigen, in the final analysis he still took a fancy to his force.

At that time, Zhao Ji's advocacy of Taoism had already been established, and Zhizhen was probably afraid of the recurrence of the extermination of Buddhism, so he wanted to keep a backup.

In the end, Zhiqing messed it up.

Similarly, when Fang La was getting bigger, it was the time when Lin Lingsu was trying to turn a monk into a Taoist priest.
